The global swine industry faces significant challenges related to improving the survival and health of newborn piglets. Attention has come to β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB), a metabolite of leucine, for its potential in prenatal nutritional programming in sows, which can improve piglet body weight and support the development of the skeletal and digestive systems. The effects of prenatal HMB supplementation were investigated on the chemical coding of the enteric nervous system (ENS) in the small intestine of neonatal piglets.
